No, it's not cheating, especially if you're making the reference of your own design from scratch. @,@

Be careful that you don't make its pelvis/waist section too miniscule though. Your mecha has no ass, hahaha. =p You should give it some design elements that balance backward, since you have a lot of stuff that comes forward already. A lot of people tend to forget about this. =o

As always, looking forward to the new sketches.

Designed as an intermediate step towards their ultimate mass production model, the Absolution took a Medusa frame, upgraded it heavily using technology from the Dragon MkII, then disguised it as an Odin to dissuade observers from deciphering its true form.

Based on a franken I did for an RPG, I decided to make it in 3D. A fair amount of details have changed, some due to stylistic choices, some due to my poor 3D skills A bit of tweaking is still in order, and the High Mobility version needs completed still. A version of this has been submitted to the currently running RPG "Lunar Mobile Frame Gundam: Dominion's Rise" run by EZero8.
